| Kolkata Encounter With Nationalists --II Clueless Mirwaiz lost cool, failed to satisfy the real civil society | | | RUSTAM
EARLY TIMES REPORT
JAMMU, Nov 30: Former Mayor of the city Bikas Ranjan Bhattacharya also took on the already cornered and clueless Mirwaiz. He asked the Mirwaiz "why does his outfit not participate in the electoral exercise to prove its representative character"? The Mirwaiz had no answer. He had no answer because his area of influence is limited to a few localities in the Srinagar's downtown area, as also because he knows it full well that once his outfit takes the plunge and seeks people' mandate, he and his outfit would be comprehensively defeated by the suffering people of Kashmir, as also because he is fully aware of the fate that People's Conference chief and son-in-law of the founder of JKLF Amaanullah, Sajjad Lone, who had contested the last Lok Sabha election but had to forfeit his security deposit. (Lone could not lead even in his own hometown. His comprehensive defeat was a proof that the people of Kashmir were fed up with the separatists.) The fact of the matter is that the Mirwaiz had no answer. He could only say: "Election is an administrative process and it has nothing to do with the history and the sentiment of the people of Kashmir. Kashmir's problem is a political problem and it has to be resolved politically. Kashmir's problem can be resolved either through UN resolution or through dialogue and if it is dialogue then the people of Kashmir, Pakistan and India all have to be made accountable and they all have sit together to resolve the problem." He did not say anything new. He only treaded the beaten path.
The Mirwaiz wanted to make fool of the civil society, but he utterly failed in what could be termed as his misadventure. The real Indian civil society is fully aware of the fact that there exists a dangerous nexus between the Islamic terrorists and the Maoist terrorists (Chief Minister Omar Abdullah has repeatedly hinted at this nexus, notwithstanding the fact that his own politics has contributed considerably to the politics of extremism in the Kashmir Valley); that the bottom-line in Kashmir is secession, based on two-nation theory; and that the likes of the Mirwaiz are only surviving and thriving on the blood and sweat of the ordinary, gullible and emotional Kashmiri Muslims.
What happened at Kolkata augurs well for the future of the nation. It is for the first time that the real civil society in the country has recognized the signs of the times and discharged its duty in the manner it should have. It is hoped that the authorities in New Delhi, especially Home Minister P Chidamabaram, would behave and not make such uncalled for statements as "Kashmir is a unique problem, Kashmir has a unique history and geography and there has to be a unique solution." He should remember the Indian middle class has diagnosed the Kashmir's ailment. It has come to the conclusion that what has been happening in Kashmir is the outcome of politics of communalism and that this evil needs to be nipped without losing a single moment.
As for the Mirwaiz, who instead of satisfying the real civil society lost his cool and spoke only non-sense, he would be well advised to give up the path of confrontation. He should remember that the Indian nation will under no situation permit anyone in New Delhi to tinker with the national unity and that what he and other Kashmiri separatists and extremists have been trying to achieve is unachievable.
